Good Medicine

An all-star night full of A-listers descended upon the Georgia Aquarium for the second annual GCAPP EmPower Party. Jane Fonda, the founder of the Atlanta-based organization, took to the stage to reiterate the group’s new name, which now stands for Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power & Potential. The nonprofit has broadened its focus beyond teen-pregnancy prevention to include nutrition, healthy relationships and physical activity. The who’s who of Atlanta society (including Fonda’s date, and ex-husband, Ted Turner) came out to raise money for the expanded mission. The night included a candid and lively talk between CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Fonda about the causes of obesity. Gupta emphasized that “guilt is not a motivator” to lose weight, but the importance of good health is what makes people change their lifestyle. Attendees left inspired by their words of wisdom and GCAPP’s objectives. Photography by Kim Link Press
